Spotlight on law and identity
Professor Kirsten Campbell is a sociologist and lawyer working on sexual and gender-based crimes in international criminal law. She is a leading expert in this area and has worked on policy and practice with non-governmental organisations, the UN, the UK and the EU.
Kirsten convenes the third-year option course, Law, Identity and Ethics. In the course, you explore key debates about law and identity. How does law construct identity? Does law only reflect the interests of powerful social groups, or can it help change social inequalities? What kinds of justice does law provide?
